When the spirit drifted away, I thought that the worship ceremony had ended, and it was only then that I and the former Li Yulang knew that there was a second phase of worship activities at the Abe family today.

"What do you mean? Do you want to continue? I asked in a low voice, why do you want to continue after all the gods have been worshipped and the tributes have been paid? Look at Haruko's side again, she has already begun to recuperate and prepare for the second stage.

Abe Dekawa looked at me with a surprised face, thought for a moment and said, "You come with me." ”

He dragged me to the side, avoiding the Abe family, and I saw that he looked serious and looked like he was about to tell some important secret. I whispered, "What's going on?" ”

He looked back at Haruko, making sure she couldn't hear us far enough away before he spoke, "Haruko was raised by my father, do you know?" ”

"Oh? Be specific. I thought he might have to say something I didn't know before, but it might be important, so I didn't interject.

"Haruko is a shrine maiden discovered and cultivated by my father, and it can be said that my father has used a lot of resources on Haruko, even far more than us children. But the reason he did this was not because he wanted to raise the first great witch of modern times, as rumored by the outside world, and whether it was a big witch or predicting the future of the family, it was not a top priority for my father. His real purpose in cultivating Haruko was to win the favor of a god. "Abe Izukawa's words tell the core secret of the entire Abe family, and I wonder why this core figure of the Abe family suddenly showed me so much. I guess that maybe it's because he saw the way I intimidated the ancient gods just now, and the old gods ran away in disgrace is equivalent to being scared away by me. I proved to them once again that I was strong enough!

"Oh? Your Abe family is strong, and Abe Qingming was also a positive result in our Chinese quest for immortals, and I won't say much after returning to Japan, I'm afraid that the ordinary ancient gods are not their opponents. Now that this worship ceremony is also an annual routine, these spirits are actually not so helpful to you. So what kind of divine thing would make your father work so hard to train a shrine maiden in order to convince him? I asked.

Abe Izukawa was still quite nervous, his eyes kept looking back when he was talking to me, he hesitated for a moment after hearing my question, and after thinking for a while, he said: "I respect you very much, you are from China and a celebrity in China's supernatural circle, and you also have first-class strength, I hope to be friends with people like you." What I am about to tell you has a lot to do with the Abe family, and it also has a very deep relationship with you. But it may be dangerous if I speak out, so please help me when the time comes. ”

Why did this happen to me for no apparent reason? Originally, I thought that Abe Izukawa was courting me and wanted to slap me. But between the words, it seems that their worship of this god has a lot to do with me.

"Oh? Relationship with me? Then tell me, if you really have a lot to do with me, I can help you in any danger you encounter at that time. "I didn't finish my words either.

"My father ordered us to come to Takamagahara this time to do two things, the first is the annual worship ceremony you just saw, and the second is ...... It is to bring a god back to High Heaven. ”

"Bringing the ancient gods back to High Heaven? Was this old god expelled from Takamagahara? I asked.

"The ancient god we want to bring back to Takamagahara is Suzhan Mingzun." He only told the secret at this time, and I didn't react much after hearing it, and muttered in my heart: "It's normal for the ancient gods to return to High Heaven." Besides, Susanoo, who is one of the three main gods in Japanese mythology, has always been a powerful god, although he has a bad relationship with his family, but after all, he is also the main god, and it is normal for the Abe family to want to tie up the main god and soul, but what does this have to do with me?

"What does this have to do with me?" I asked.

"Suzhan Narita is a powerful god of war, he was driven out of Takamagahara because of a conflict with Amaterasu and Izanagi, in fact, he longed for Takamagahara in his heart and gradually developed jealousy and hatred with the inability to return to Takamagahara for a long time, and his powerful power has been on the verge of rioting. Hundreds of years ago, the original intention of the Abe family to start the worship ceremony was actually to calm the anger of Suzhan Mingzun and protect the safety of the Japanese people. The ceremony was a success, and Suzhan Mingzun was very fond of the tribute we offered. But the anger of this anger is growing sharply with the passage of hundreds of years, which is why we have this second ritual. And the reason why my father asked you to come with us is because you need your help in the worship ceremony. "It was only at this point that I really got to the point, and I suddenly showed a strange expression, why do you need my help? I'm not an onmyoji, and I don't know your spells to worship the gods, so why do they have anything to do with me?

"How can I help?" I asked with a frown, I didn't say this beforehand, but I was told at this time that it suddenly made me very unhappy.

"To appease Suzhan Mingzun's anger, a very special tribute is required, which is the blood of strangers."

"Oh......" I let out a long dragging sound, "So, your Abe family let me enter the divine realm, and its real purpose is to make my blood, hehe, do you think I will give it?" ”

Abe Izukawa hurriedly explained: "You won't need a lot of your blood, just about a vial." As he spoke, Izukawa Abe took out a glass bottle from his pocket, the size of two thumbs.

"If you had greeted me before, we could have made a deal, and now you ask me for blood coldly, do you think I will give it? Less dreaming, if you dare to be strong, don't blame me for being unkind. "Lao Tzu's blood will be released when it is released, and it is not so precious that this blood is still buckle the rope. But the question is, what does it mean that the Abe family is only making this request now? Treat me like a monkey?

"Mr. Ba, I think so too, that's why I'm telling you this now. Actually, according to my father......" he stopped talking and did not continue.

"How about your father's wishes? Go on! I spoke.

"Actually, according to my father's intentions...... He said I can give you some medicine and let your blood go when you pass out......" he muttered before he finished speaking.

"What? Drugged me? Secretly let my blood? Haha, your old man's mind is ruthless enough, see me as a bully? My face sank. At that moment, he waved his hand at the former Li Yulang, and the former Li Yulang looked at me strangely.

"Pack your things, let's go right away!" I'm not afraid to give my life for my friends, but I hate being treated like a monkey even more. The Abe family took me as a tribute and wanted to secretly release my blood, and this beam was settled. I was just about to leave, but Abe Izukawa hurriedly ran up to block my way, lowered his head and said, "Mr. Ba, please listen to me again." ”

"What?" I asked impatiently.

"Even if my father's actions are wrong, we really need your blood. Suzhan Mingzun's anger will soon sweep across the whole of Japan, and this matter has been hidden by our Abe family for a long time, and even Yin Yang Liao does not know. No one thought that in just a few hundred years, Suzhan Mingzun would be furious again. But if we don't stop it now, it will be the common people who will suffer. Please give us your blood for the sake of the living, we only need a small vial of blood, and if you want to take revenge on our Abe family, please do so after today. With that, he bowed deeply to me and held the glass bottle in both hands. This scene was seen by the former Li Yulang, who immediately showed a suspicious expression and walked over slowly.

I looked at Izukawa Abe in front of me, sighed, and said, "Give me the bottle." ”

I wasn't moved by his sincerity, but I've been in Japan for so long, and I've seen a lot of bowing and bowing etiquette. The reason why I agree is still for the sake of the face of those innocent people.

After taking the glass bottle, I pinched the bottle and asked: "If you dare to lie to me in any way, I will not be soft on you, for the sake of the people, I will give you a bottle of blood today." ”
